I find it fascinating to read the NYT. The news articles in the middle tend to me informative, but the overall slant pushes hard to the left. And of course the front page is the talking points of Pinch & Co. And the OpEds are more of "why won't the righties just give up when they are just so WRONG?"

David Brooks today just floored Gail Collins when he wasn't predictable. (Except in the sense that he is predictably a moderate Democrat wearing a nice pink or purple shirt.)

The Ann Althouse effect will help increase their more intelligent readership and keep them interested while the Agenda News has only been boring them. First rule of being interesting is that fantasy stories are always boring, but any truth based story is riveting and catches people at a deepest level. Nice work Professor.
